forwarded 726252 bug-texinfo@gnu.org thanks Hi Karl, hi all,
it seems that some changes to makeinfo broke some old texi files. The vera.texi from the vera distribution ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/vera/ (released 2013-06-09) cannot be compiled with makeinfo 5 but with makeinfo 4. The errors are: vera.texi:191: warning: unreferenced node `0' vera.texi:109: node `Top' lacks menu item for `0' despite being its Up target (many similar ones) The vera.texi contains lines like: ... @node Top, 0, (dir), (dir) ... @node B, C, A, Top ... Is this intended behaviour? The original bug report on Debian states: > The requirement to add menu entries when there is already references is > completly spurious: adding the required menu entries make the info file > uglier, > when the references are nicer and faster to navigate. > And of course is break backard compatibility. Could you please let us know what you think?
